The Shroud of Turin
and
Sudarium of Oviedo

Did you know there was "photographical" evidence documenting the dynamic power and energy used to resurrect Jesus Christ?

The Shroud and Sudarium are the linen cloths found left behind in the empty tomb of Jesus Christ. The shroud bears the image of Jesus Christ, and both attest to physical trauma and injuries consistent with a Roman crucifixion and the wearing of a crown of thorns.

 

John 20:4-7 (KJV)

4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

If you've never heard of the the Shroud of Turin or the Sudarium of Oviedo you're in for an amazing journey of discovery here today.

For those who have been introduced to these two historic fabrics, you'll be happy to see and hear more recent findings and information found in the videos and links presented on this page.

We start with Joe Cortes of TeachingFaith ministries giving you an introduction to both the Shroud and the Sudarium. Joe Cortes is quick to point out these relics of Christianity are not to be worshipped, but rather, seen as evidence to the death and resurrection of the only one deserving our worship, Jesus Christ.

The Shroud of Turin Study

www.shroud.com The oldest and most complete historical archive of Shroud science.

 


The Shroud of Turin Research Project (often abbreviated as STURP) refers to a team of scientists which performed a set of experiments and analyses on the Shroud of Turin during the late 1970s and early 1980s. STURP issued its final report in 1981.

The origins of the group go back to the experiments of physicist John P. Jackson, thermodynamicist Eric Jumper and photographer William Mottern in 1976. Using the ideas invented in aerospace science for building three dimensional models from images of Mars, Eric Jumper built initial devices to test the photographs of the Shroud of Turin. These were the first experiments relating to the shroud performed by scientists.

In March 1977, Jackson, Jumper and Mottern invited a few other scientists to join them to form a team for the analysis of the Shroud. The first meeting took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The group had no official sponsorship and the scientists funded their own activities. They also managed to arrange gifts and loans of technical equipment whose value was estimated at over $2 million.

Nuclear physicist Tom D'Muhala headed STURP. Apart from Jackson, Jumper, and Motten the team included thermal chemist Raymond N. Rogers, and Ron London, and Roger Morris, all from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Other team members included Don Lynn of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, biophysicist John Heller, photographers Vern Miller and Barrie Schwortz, optical physicist Sam Pellicori, and electric power experts John D. German and Rudy Dichtl, as well as forensic pathologist Robert Bucklin. STURP included no experts on medieval art, archaeology, or textiles.

To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the shroud in Turin, it was displayed to the public in Turin from 27 August to 8 October 1978, with about 3 million visitors attending the exposition under bullet-proof glass. For the next 5 days after the exposition the STURP team analyzed the shroud around the clock at the royal palace adjoining Turin Cathedral, some scientists sleeping while others worked.

STURP team members continued their research after access to the shroud and published many of theirs results in scientific journals and proceedings. In 1981, in its final report, STURP wrote:

"We can conclude for now that the Shroud image is that of a real human form of a scourged, crucified man. It is not the product of an artist. The blood stains are composed of hemoglobin and also give a positive test for serum albumin. The image is an ongoing mystery and until further chemical studies are made, perhaps by this group of scientists, or perhaps by some scientists in the future, the problem remains unsolved."

Barrie Schwortz at Tedx

Barrie Schwortz (the owner operator of www.shroud.com), an Orthodox Jew, spends much of his time educating Christians that the Turin Shroud may well be an artifact of Jesus. An expert on imaging, he was the official documenting photographer for the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP), the 1978 team that conducted the first in-depth scientific examination of the Shroud. In 2009, he founded the Shroud of Turin Education and Research Association, Inc. (STERA, Inc.). Schwortz began as a skeptic of the shroud, but by scientific evidence became absolutely convinced of its authenticity. To be open-minded and brave enough to immerse oneself in the evidence of beliefs that go against your own, and allow yourself to be convinced of their validity, requires a courage and honesty that not many can claim. This is what Barrie Schwortz has been doing for the past 30 years.
 

 

 


 

The Advent of Photography Brings Out
a Picture of the Miraculous

On the left we see the of the head of Jesus transferred to the linen cloth as it looks with the naked eye. On the right we see a photograph of the same image. Here we can see the face of Jesus in great detail. Turns out, the image on the linen is a negative, when photographed and developed the image turns positive.
 

 

 

Holographic 3D Imaging

While the world of science has brought us the answers to many of the mysteries of the Shroud of Turin, what they can not surmise is exactly how the image was transferred to the linen. They presently believe it had to be some kind of radioactive event. While they're busy working on finding the scientific answer, it's easy for the believer to assume the power unleashed by God to resurrect his son was tantamount to that used for all creation. The purest of light hitting the purest of darkness. Or in this case, the purest of life hitting the purest of death meant the instant eradication of death, resulting in the body of Jesus passing through the shroud as light, leaving behind not only his image, but also with full holographic three dimensional properties, as has been documented by science and seen below.

John 8:12 - Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

One can also imagine a split second after the image was
transferred, his eyes were open and he rose to life!

The Sudarium of Oviedo

Men of Value

  In the words of James Riordan "Most of us have heard a great deal about the Shroud of Turin but how many know about the Sudarium of Oviedo. While the Shroud was the linen garment that was laid over the body of Jesus in the tomb, the Sudarium was the cloth wrapped around the head of Jesus after he died. The news is that scientists have now confirmed that the Shroud and the Sudarium came from the same person. While many believe they were both used on the body of Jesus Christ, the new evidence doesn’t prove or disprove that assumption but it does provide some validity in that, as believed, both cloths came from the same person." Click here for full article.
